This is Reaghan and her friend Cade. He came walking by with the mask on and said, "I'm spiderman. I'm getting married." Then Reaghan came dancing by in the Sleeping Beauty dress saying she was getting married. They asked me to take the pictures of the wedding.

Channel 10 news came to the kids' school, and they wanted to stand out so they'd be on T.V. I figured this would do the job.Andrew got a full on close-up, and they commented on his school spirit. The anchors back at the studio joked about why one of the anchors didn't dye his hair purple like Andrew's.

Someone on the bus to school made fun of Kennadie, so she took the wig off. No close up there. But at least she learned a valuable lesson: Mom knows everything.

Sunday morning after the baptism, Andrew as the newest member of the ward.Getting my girls ready for church!Yeah, like I'm really keeping this pink sea urchin on my head.

This was a beautiful day. Family flew/drove in from Utah to see Andrew get baptised, and we had about 50+ people at the house afterwards for lunch. There was a crazy lady who spoke at the baptism-she didn't prepare anything-just babbled at the podium randomly for a while. There was a great part where she told the kids how it's O.K. to be scared, that she was scared, and it's a pretty scary thing...All the parents are are shaking their heads and doing the "cut" sign at her while our kids are imagining some kind of drowning ceremony about to be performed.

Reese got a really high fever, and got all rag-dollish in her carseat, so I took her to the Dr., who sent me to the ER. They couldn't get her fever down, and it was over 105*, so they kept her for a couple days. They couldn't find anything causing it, the only thing we could think of was that she'd gotten into the toilet-the toilet Reaghan had pooped in and left unflushed-and ate the poo. And the Mother of the Year award goes to...
